Assad Promises he will Personally fight and die to resist foreign Forces,
AS the Nuclear Umbrellas Ships of East And West Plan Their Positions
Which makes it likely he’ll be replaced by assassination by his Allies!
The several big Sunday morning blasts in normally quiet Damascus
Show that that Assad needs to Leave Syria Now, But He Says NO.
Watch Out for the Cunning Man Who Eventually Replaces Assad!

I have written about nuclear umbrellas in the final war ot the Age of the Gentiles for many years that would cause it to be a conventional war without the use of nuclear weapons by either Israel or Islam. Islam has a definite huge advantage in numbers. Israel is confident she can defeat Islam in any kind of war, but cannot without her God.
He will lead them to victory at the final humongous battle of the Gentile Age, which is the battle of Armageddon, but Islam will push Israel into the vast Negev Wilderness some three and one-half years prior to Armageddon, and during that time a hudna (truce) will have been maintained between Islam and Israel.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left THEREIN.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Revelation 16:16,17 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying,
It is done.
Revelation 19:11-21 – And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. [13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. [14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. [15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [16] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. [17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh
of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. [19] And I saw the beast, and
the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

A third part of Israel (about 2 million) will survive the 3 & ½ Years of Tribulation n the flesh, and as they will accept Jesus as Messiah God when he comes at His 2nd Advent to end the final battle of Armageddon.
Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
There will be a lot of threats, bluffs, confusion, diplomacy, and shifting of positions from now until the conventional war breaks out in the Middle East that pushes Israel into the Negev Wilderness, and it shall seem war is going to start at any moment, but I doubt it will this year or in 2012 – l do know it eventually will according to the Scriptures, and I believe the most likely time for it to begin lies at some point between 2013 and 2015.

Russian warships off Syria, US carriers near Iran
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
November 21, 2011, 6:20 PM (GMT+02:00)
Big power gunboat diplomacy is in full spate in the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf. Washington is underscoring its military option against Iran’s nuclear program, while Russia is demonstrating its resolve to prevent NATO attacking Syria after Libya and defending Bashar Assad’s regime. Monday, Nov. 21,
Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov accused Western nations of “political provocation” by urging the Syrian opposition to refuse to negotiate a settlement with Assad.
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, for his part, advised Assad: “You can only continue with tanks and guns to a certain point, the day will come when you will go.”
DEBKAfile’s military sources note that Russia and America adopted aggressive postures on Nov. 12, when two American carriers, the USS Bush and USS Stennis sailed through the Strait of Hormuz side by side and took up position opposite the Iranian coast.
That was also the day when a mysterious explosion at the Revolutionary Guards base near Tehran wiped out the entire leadership of Iran’s ballistic missile program.
Five days later, on Nov. 17, the Syrian news agency reported three Russian naval vessels on the Mediterranean were heading toward Syria.
Monday, Nov. 21, presidential sources in Damascus announced three warships had entered Syrian territorial waters outside Tartus port.
Those sources stressed the Russian ships would not anchor in the Syrian port, indicating that their mission was not just to show the flag for the Assad regime but was on operational duty along its coasts to resist any foreign intervention in Syria unrest.
Our military sources are watching to see whether the Russian flotilla targets the small craft transporting arms from Lebanon and Turkey to Syrian rebels fighting the regime. If so, Moscow would be able to present these strikes as actions against piracy which would fall under a UN Security Council resolution.
While Moscow and Damascus kept the identity of the Russian warships dark, Arab sources said at least two of them are equipped for gathering intelligence and electronic warfare.
As the Russian warships entered Syrian territorial waters, Canadian Defense Minister Peter McKay announced that in the light of the Syrian crisis, the Royal Canadian Navy would keep back in the Mediterranean until the end of 2012 certain vessels which took part in the Libyan campaign.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report he was referring to two frigates: HMCS Vancouver will stay in the Mediterranean Sea until early next year,” he said, taking part in “locating, tracking, reporting (and) boarding vessels of interest suspected of international terrorism.” It would be relieved by HMCS Charlottetown until the end of 2012.
Defense Minister Mckay explained: “…a lot of dictators are on notice that this type of behavior isn’t going to be tolerated. How we go about it and what comes next is done on… an escalating scale before making any final decisions about intervention.”
The Canadian defense minister was the first prominent Western official to admit the possibility of Western military intervention in Syria
.
Three more events affecting the fate of the Assad regime, Tehran’s closest ally, followed in quick succession Monday:
British Foreign Secretary William Hague received a delegation of the opposition Syrian National Council in London. Shortly before the interview the SNC published its plan for the transition of power from the Assad regime in Damascus, calling also for “international protection for Syrian civilians.”
In Syria itself, three buses carrying Turkish pilgrims home from Mecca were accosted by a Syrian checkpoint at Cizre near Homs. The passengers were ordered to disembark for their papers
to be inspected. The Syrian soldiers then started shooting at them, injuring a passenger and one of the drivers.
This incident will not be treated lightly by the Erdogan government. Until now, despite vocal threats, Ankara has not intervened directly in the nine-month Syrian uprising aside from arming and training rebels.
Also Monday, Jordan’s King Abdullah II paid a surprise visit to Ramallah for talks with the Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas. One of the items on his agenda was an attempt to find out where the Palestinian leader stands vis-à-vis the Arab Revolt

Blasts in Syrian Capital, Reports of RPG
Associated Press= BEIRUT (AP) — Residents in the Syrian capital woke up to two loud explosions Sunday amid activist reports that a major building belonging to the ruling Baath party in the capital Damascus had been by hit several rocket-propelled grenades.
There was no immediate c onfirmati
on of the report, which would mark the first significant attack on a government building in relatively quiet central Damascus.
The Local Coordination Committees activist network and several residents reported several explosions in the district of Mazraa in the heart of the Syrian capital.
The LCC said in a statement that the building had been hit at daybreak Sunday by several rocket propelled grenades and that two fire brigades headed toward the area amid heavy security presence.
But eyewitnesses said the building looked intact Sunday and reported no significant security deployment around it.
Residents in the Syrian capital said
they heard two loud explosions but could not confirm whether the building had been hit.
“I woke up to the sound of two loud thuds,” said a resident of the area who asked that he remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.
Damascus-based journalist Thabet Salem, who lives about a kilometer away from the Baath party building and heard the explosions, said if the reports are confirmed, it would signal a new phase in the Syrian uprising.
“It would be an escalation that gives a new dimension to the whole situation,” he said.
Syria’s uprising against President Bashar Assad has grown more violent and militarized in recent weeks, as frustrated protesters see the limits of peaceful action.
Army dissidents who sided with the protests have also grown more bold, fighting back against regime forces and even assaulting military bases.
The so called Free Syrian Army group of dissident soldiers this week staged their boldest operation yet, attacking a military intelligence building in a Damascus suburb.

Assad: Syria Won’t Bow Down, Crackdown will Continue
Syrian President Bashar Assad says he will not bow down to Arab League pressure and will continue his brutal crackdown against protesters.
By Elad Benari
11/20/2011
Syrian President Bashar Assad said on Saturday he would press on with the brutal crackdown against anti-government unrest in his country, despite increased pressure from the Arab League to end it.
Speaking to Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper, Assad said, “The conflict will continue and the pressure to subjugate Syria will continue. However, I assure you that Syria will not bow down and that it will continue to resist the pressure being imposed on it.”
Assad was quoted as having told the newspaper there would be elections in February or March, when Syrians would vote for a parliament to create a new constitution and that would include provision for a presidential ballot.
“That constitution will set the basis of how to elect a president, if they need a president or don’t need him,” he said. “They have the elections, they can participate in it. The ballot boxes will decide who should be president.”
Last week, the Arab League voted to suspend Syria from the 22-member organization and then gave Damascus three days to accept an observer mission or face economic sanctions.
A senior Syrian official said Friday that the government had agreed to the observer mission in principle but was “still studying the details.”
The United Nations says 3,500 people have been killed during the crackdown on the protests which began in March, but Assad disputed this and put the number killed at 619. He told the paper that 800 government forces had been killed.
“My role as president — this is my daily obsession now — is to know how to stop this bloodshed caused by armed terrorist acts that are hitting some areas,” he said.
He added that the Arab League’s intervention could provide a pretext for Western military action and repeated a past warning that such a move against Syria would create an “earthquake” across the Middle East.
“If they are logical, rational and realistic, they shouldn’t do it because the repercussions are very dire,” Assad was quoted as saying. “Military intervention will destabilize the region as a whole, and all countries will be affected.”
Assad also promised The Sunday Times that he would personally fight and die to resist foreign forces.
